The reason , I am installing this package is to get tftp/udp/ip stack
running for my embedded system and I want to test this stack
basically. So I took lwip and then the tftp-hpa and now want to test
this as a whole whether the tftp -hpa uses lwip or not..?
Is it possible.. to confugure ecos in such a way that it uses lwip for
getting and putting files , using the tftp client and server from ecos
, without the need to install tftp-hpa??? If its possible can I use
the code that ecos provides for tftp client and server..???

I read that , ecos is not linux ..., and I did nget the exact meaning
of the sentence in your reply " and while it can provide a POSIX
environment, building for an embedded system requires tuning of the
sources, etc. " Can you please clarify..?
